Hinata Chronicles Chapter 35: Explorations and Meetings
'HELP!" Someone screamed, attracting the attention of the group.
"What!" Naruto quickly rushed towards the sound.
"Naruto stay with the group!" Kakashi said he went after him.
"Something's never change. . ." Sakura said as she palmed her face.
Hinata started to giggle. "Aw come on Sakura, if Naruto wasn't the way he was, what would you rather him be? Emo?"
"Yeah! We would want Naruto to be like Sasuke back at the academy right?" Kiba said as Akamaru barked in agreement.
"I'm just going to ignore you saying that Kiba." Sakura said as she cracked her knuckles. Kiba got the point and kept his mouth shut as they went after Naruto and Kakashi.
Naruto ran to see a woman being harassed by some Shadows, Naruto then took this opportunity to try out his new blades as he got them out and extended them with his chakra. "Bring it on!" He then dashed into them as instantly destroyed them. "Hey lady, are you alright?"
The woman simple nodded as more Shadows started to appear. Naruto ordered the woman to get to safety while he took care of them when. . .
"Lightning Blade!" Kakashi said as he jabbed his hand into one of the Shadows and destroyed it. "Naruto I told you to wait up. . . Sometimes you can be to impatient." Kakashi said as more Shadows appeared.
"CHA!" Sakura screamed as she slammed her fist into one of the Shadows, destroying it. "Jeez Naruto, you just rush into these situations! We have to have some strategy."
Shino used his insects to capture one in a sphere as he then enclosed it., crushing the Heartless with a large amount of force while Kiba and Akamaru did their 'Fang over Fang' as they destroyed as few. "So these are Heartless. . . They look like insects. . ."
"Don't get any ideas Shino." Kiba said as Akamaru barked in agreement.
"SPIKY HUMAN BOULDER!" Choji roared as he ran over some Heartless. "Heart eating freaks. . ." He muttered.
"Jeez this such a drag!" Shikamaru said as he did his "Shadow Stitching Jutsu", stabbing the Heartless as they disappeared in a puff of black smoke.
Ino had been training with Shizune as she learned some medical Ninjutsu and some of her skills, which she displayed as she did Shizune's "Poison Fog" Technique, as it slowly destroyed the Heartless. "There's just no end to these monsters!" She said as Lee and Tenten were fighting some of, not being able to speak at the moment.
Sai tried to destroy some of the Heartless with some ink beast, but more kept coming. "Interesting. . . a never ending force of creatures." He muttered as he got out a scroll. "I better capture one for Lord Danzō. . ." He muttered as he quickly seal a Shadow in the scroll and put it away.
Hinata and Xion summoned out their keyblades as they headed into the fray, eliminating as many Heartless as they could. "Just like training with Yen Sid, eh Hinata?"
"Yup!" Hinata said as she smacked a Heartless into black smoke.
As the group continued fighting, three people were watching them. Two guys and a girl. One of the guys had long brown hair and was holding a gun blade while the other had blonde short hair with a black bandanna on while he was cracking his knuckles. The black haired girl was spinning a kunai with her finger.
"Should we help them? They look like they're in a pinch and Cid's Claymore system is down at the moment."
"Yuffie, they seem to be strong but-"
"But nothing Squall! We're part of the committee, and should help anyone if they're fighting these damn Heartless!"
". . . That's Leon Snow. . ."
"Whatever! I'm helping them! Come on Yuffie!" Snow said as he rushed into the battle.
Yuffie palmed her face. "Snow and that heroic attitude of his. . ." She muttered as she went after him.
Leon smirked as he went after the two as he then saw Hinata and Xion, both wielding a keyblade, which surprised him. "Who are those two? Maybe they can help with our current situation." He muttered.
Naruto, Kakashi and Sakura were out of breath as more Heartless started to appear.
"Damn it! Won't these guys just leave us alone!" Naruto yelled as he tried to catch his breath.
"Well they are persistent. . ." Kakashi said.
"Hold on while I-" Sakura was about to say when. . .
"Get down!" A voice as a green glowing Fuma Shuriken came at the three.
"Duck!" Kakashi said as the three got down as the shuriken hit all the surrounding Heartless.
Yuffie then jumped from where she was in front of them as she caught her shuriken as it had acted like a boomerang. "You guys alright?"
Kakashi then got back up. "Yes, thanks for the assistants." He then bowed to her as Naruto and Sakura got back up.
Yuffie then rubbed her upper lip with her finger. "No problem, now lets go help your friends."
"Right!" The three said as they dashed off to help the others.
Kiba, Akamaru and Shino were surround by multiple Heartless.
"Damn! Now what!" Kiba said angrily.
Suddenly a fireball was shot out as a Heartless was destroyed.
"I'll help out!" Leon said as he started slashing his gun blade.
"Thanks!" Kiba said as Akamaru barked happily. Soon all the Heartless surrounding them were gone.
"Impressive. . ." Shino said in his usual monotone like voice.
"No problem! Come with me, we'll help your friends."
Kiba and Shino nodded as the three went with him.
Lee, Shikamaru and Choji were up against a wall while Ino and Tenten were surrounded.
"Man this is such a drag!"
"Why do they keep coming?" Choji said as he was panting.
"They are most strong enemies indeed my friend!" Lee said
"Well I guess it's good thing we're here then huh?"
"What!" The two said in unison as a sphere went in front of the Heartless. The sphere then expanded as a glacier came out, destroying the Heartless.
Snow then came in and punched out the remaining Heartless. "You guy alright?"
"Yes we are indeed! Thank you for the help!" Lee blurted out.
"No problem." Snow confidently said as he then winked at Ino and Tenten.
Ino blushed as Tenten rolled her eyes. "Cocky. . ." Tenten muttered.
"Now then," Snow then turned to the rest of the Heartless. "Let's take them down!" He then charged in, him and Lee punching them out while Choji used his 'Spiky Human Boulder' again and Shikamaru, Ino and Tenten rested up. Soon all the Heartless were gone, as Snow caught his breath, his communicator went off as he then went and picked it up. "Hello?"
At the committee's base was Cid and Aerith, Cid was contacting Snow. "Hey Snow, just wanted to tell you that the defense system is almost back online."
"That would really great now!"
"Just one more key stroke and. . . Done!"
Back on the battlefield, multiple spheres of light appeared from the ground under the Heartless, sending some of the Heartless into the air and destroying some of them. Everyone then caught their breath as the system destroyed the rest of them.
"Is everyone alright?" Squall asked, getting nods of agreement of Hinata and her friends as they got up.
"Yes, we're ok. Thanks for the help." Kakashi said
"Man! There were a lot of them!" Naruto said as he stood up.
"Unfortunately it's more then just those types." Xion said as she did a Cure spell on everyone. "We got a lot of training to do. . ." She thought.
"Seriously! DAMN IT!" Naruto yelled as he put his blades away.
"It's alright Naruto, they just swarmed us and we were at a major disadvantage." Hinata said as she hugged him.
Kakashi then turned to see that a group of people including the woman that Naruto saved praising and cheering them, the woman saying thank you for saving her and everyone else in the crowd saying that they are grateful to them for their efforts.
Naruto and Lee smiled as they both gave the crowd a thumbs-up. Kiba smirked as he rubbed his nose as Akamaru barked and wagged his tail. Sakura ,Shino, and Tenten bowed to the group as they were glad to help. Shikamaru yawned as Choji patted him on the back as Ino embraced the praise they were getting. Sai blankly stared at the scroll with the sealed Heartless as he then looked at the crowd. Hinata and Xion blushed for the praise.
"You'll be receiving the bill for our service." Yuffie said as Leon bonked her on the head with his fist. "Behave!" Leon said.
"Yuffie. . ." Snow said as he rubbed his face and chuckled. "Always with the jokes. . ."
Leon then went over to Hinata, Xion and the rest of their group while a portly woman was giving Yuffie a large bag of rice balls. "I'm gonna have to ask you guys to come with me."
Kakashi then rubbed the back of his head, eye smiling, and chuckled. "Yeah I figured that. . ."
"Hey Leon! Can you help with this!" Yuffie said as she struggled to lift the bag of rice balls.
